marine ply

fellow builders, thery have a large stock of marine ply at Bateau.com
in vero beach, fl as well as resins etc, very nice people, john
Please feel free to disagree with me , but this has been my
experience sofar. Gaboon grade AB is a beautiful bit of wood All my
1/4 sheets wieghed 8kg. Ihad 1 sheet of indonesian and 1 sheet of
phillipines AB ply. Whatever they tell you its all maranti. bloody
rubbish is the best way to describe the quality. weight was 30%
heavier than gaboon . very grainy and splintery .Outer plys were very
thin. inner plys thick with narrow thin voids. gaboon had no voids
in 8 sheets. Mine was madein Isreal. Gaboon was more expensive by
5% only at $60.00 aus. IS this any help? My next ply order will
specify gaboon only.
cheers for now Paul Day Waltzing Matilda
